Terry Fox got back to its winning ways led by #CFC100 RB/LB Jeremie Kankolongo who ran for 136 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also had 9 defensive tackles.
Although STM made critical mistakes and had several missed opportunities throughout the game, STM continues to improve every week as their QB, Kolby Buljevic completed 21 of 32 for 289 yards passing to go along with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception.

On defense, Mateo Morreira had 9 tackles, Tyler Eckert had 5 tackles and 2 sacks, and Mateo Carteri had 8 tackles.
“We played them tough but had several missed opportunities and mistakes. The big thing for us was turnovers and not converting on both offense and defense. We had 4 turnovers on offense and gave up several 3rd and 4th down conversions on defense. We also had momentum and then would follow that up with a break down on special teams.” –Coach Mark Townsend, STM

No. 16 New Westminster Hyacks (1-0, 2-1) 51, Carson Graham (0-3) 0
Over 1500 people showed up for New West’s homecoming game versus AAA newcomer, Carson Graham.
Despite the score, neither team executed offensively as the weather played a role. New West made a few big plays, but was not consistent at running their base offense as they put the ball on the ground 5 times and had 11 penalties.
Offensively, New West’s Sammy Sidhu had 147 yards rushing on 7 carries to go along with 2 touchdowns. Lucas Savau also had 100 yards rushing as the Hyacks had over 400 yards rushing on the evening. Defensively, Connor Pattison had 11 total tackles and 2 tackles for loss.
“Despite the score I don’t think we executed our base run plays very well. We relied a lot on big plays and there’s no doubt we have some good athletes and when they get into space they’re tough to stop. But we’ll need to be better next week on our base offense when we go to Notre Dame next week. – Head Coach Farhan Lalji, Hyacks
No. 49 South Delta Sun Devils (1-0, 2-0) 36, Belmont Bulls (0-1) 27

John Barsby (0-1) 34, Ballenas (1-0) 35
The rumble on the island proved to be a dramatic affaire just as we predicted as the AA No. 3 in the province Bulldogs fell to the Whalers of Ballenas.
Whalers quarterback, Ben Robinson ran for 3 touchdowns and added another on the ground and proved to be the deciding factor in the game.

Kelowna Owls (0-1) 0, Lord Tweedsmuir (1-0) 47
It was a heartbreaking home opener for the KSS Owls. It didn’t seem that they were able to get any momentum going throughout the game. When it looked like they were getting something going, penalties stopped it.
Derek Best carried 15 times for 190 yds and 4 TDs (30,5,6,16). Joel Kaassen had two carries for 90 yds and 2 TDs (13,77). Dawson Marchant caught a 9 yd TD from Walter Dingwall. The defence had 11 sacks. Cole Irwin lad the defence with 8 tackles including two sacks. Zach Davies finished with five tackles and three sacks.
“It was definitely a learning experience for all of us. As a young team we are learning new things everyday. We are still trying to establish an identity that we can be proud of. We need to understand the work ethic required if we want to be competitors in the AAA Eastern Conference.”
